About me I am a biochemical engineer in a US government lab, specializing in the processing and modification of agricultural commodities. My current reseach is in the non-food/feed utilization of meat and bone meal, which is a by-product of the rendering industry. I am also interested in wide variety useless topics, which is why I feel so at home with Wikipedia. I am an alumnus of UC Davis, Cornell University and the University of Arizona. My real name isn't Ike; Ike is my kitty-cat. I've been a slow, steady contributor since 6/23/03. I'm primarily an exopedian. I'm a member of the harmonious editing club. Don't be a dick; be cool, play nice and learn from your fellow editors. Some articles I'm proud to have made major contributions to:

Copy in response to excessively passive talk page comment Next time you find a mistake, have a try a fixing it yourself. You don't need anyone's approval as long a you edit with a sincere intent to improve the article. It's actually fun once you get the hang of it. ~~~~ Favorite maintenance stuff

I was pleased when I read this because I had been living under the illusion that young, fresh internet companies where immune to this kind of shit. Apparently they can amass performance degrading procedures just as well major corporations and government agencies can.

Process is an embedded reaction to prior stupidity. When I was CTO of a web design firm, I noticed in staff meetings that we only ever talked about process when we were avoiding talking about people. "We need a process to ensure that the client does not get half-finished design sketches" is code for "Greg fucked up." The problem, of course, is that much of this process nevertheless gets put in place, meaning that an organization slowly forms around avoiding the dumbest behaviors of its mediocre employees, resulting in layers of gunk that keep its best employees from doing interesting work, because they too have to sign The Form Designed to Keep You From Doing The Stupid Thing That One Guy Did Three Years Ago. |  |
